I had VSG surgery 6/14/2016. I didn't lose much weight at all. I noticed a problem when I started eating solids. I was told to only eat 1/4 cup at a time. I did that and always felt hungry. Stomach growling hungry. I kept getting headaches my attitude changed I was miserable. I told the NP and she wrote me a script for phentermine and sent me on my way. I took it and lost another 20. I stopped taking it and gained the 20 pounds back. I don't know what to do now.
I'm almost 2 years pot op vsg (September will be 2 years). The last 6 months I've horrible heartburn have been taking over the counter daily pills. Last month I had a few days of throwing up, ER said stomach virus. I'm on day 3 of this again and I'm being told the same thing. I have no health insurance and am at wits end. Currently on clear liquids and still having it happen.
Had sleeve surgery over 2 years ago. Went to ER thinking pain was heart related. All tests came back ok. Leaving there they put me on 40mgs a day of Nexium. At first it did help, but here months later it's worse than ever. The Meds aren't helping, I take Rolaids, gas-x. I've taken Norco for the pain thinking it was muscle, that did nothing for the pain. I truly believe it's gas. I walk, I drink warm liquids. Tried everything. Please advise. Thank you.
